Rebuttal to Bruce Vandiver’s Aug. 21 letter: Vandiver seems to think that both liberal and conservative outlooks should be “balanced” in a news media outlet, such as The Times and WDUN. I was under the impression that journalism in the news media should be based upon facts, and not upon liberal or conservative leanings. News media should present the facts, as best they can, and leave it up to the reader or listener to make decisions as to what stance to take on certain issues. Why should any news media promote something that they do not feel is right or proper?
